Blood Lite

Blood Lite by Various Authors

I was very disappointed in most of the stories in this volume. I really enjoyed Jim Butcher's "Day Off". It was hysterically funny, but for the most part, the rest of the stories fell well below the mark. I started several and didn't even bother reading past the first or second page. I usually pick up on a couple of new authors when reading this sort of book, but not this time.

Quidditch through the Ages & Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Quidditch through the Ages & Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by JK Rowling

Two little companion books to the Harry Potter series. Cute enough little books. The one gives a rather nice history of Quiddich and the other is an encyclopedia of the different beasts that only the wizarding world can see. Only a true die-hard Harry Potter fan would find these of much interest.

Tales of Beedle the Bard

Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling

The book consists of 5 or 6 short fairy tales of wizarding and magic with longer commentaries by Professor Dumbledore. Over all, they are cute, imaginative tales. There was one that was a little on the violent side, but, than again, some fairy tales are. I loved reading this book. It is a very quick read and I think I will now take this time to go back and read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages which I have long had copies of, but not gotten around to reading.

Blue Bloods #3: Revelations

Blue Bloods #3: Revelations by Melissa delaCruz

This remains my favorite teen vampire series. Schuyler's grandmother has died and Schuyler has been placed in the home of the Force's where she is ignored by most of the family, treated badly by Mimi, and is carrying on a forbiden romance with Mimi's twin, Jack. It is rumored that the Silver Bloods are once more reappearing and that becomes evident in Rio de Janeiro where the whole Blue Blood Conclave has met. The book leaves you hangning, which I don't like. I like for series books to have definite endings rather than ending in chaos. Hopefully, the next installment won't be long in coming.

What Twilight Character Are You?

I was:

Bella
Innocent, tom-boyish, and shy, you definietly are. You also are a bit of a clutz at times. Even though you have a very low self-image, others see you as beautiful.
